In this paper convolutional codes with cyclic structure will be investigated. These codes can be understood as left principal ideals in a suitable skew-polynomial ring. It has been shown in [3] that only certain combinations of the parameters (field size, length, dimension, and Forney indices) can occur for cyclic codes. We will investigate whether all these combinations can indeed be realized ...

We show the equivalence of the Pieri formula for ag manifolds with certain identities among the structure constants for the Schubert basis of the polynomial ring. This gives new proofs of both the Pieri formula and of these identities. A key step is the association of a symmetric function to a nite poset with labeled Hasse diagram satisfying a symmetry condition. This gives a uniied deenition o...

Skew polynomial rings over finite fields ([7] and [10]) and over Galois rings ([8]) have been used to study codes. In this paper, we extend this concept to finite chain rings. Properties of skew constacyclic codes generated by monic right divisors of x − λ, where λ is a unit element, are exhibited. When λ = 1, the generators of Euclidean and Hermitian dual codes of such codes are determined tog...

A generalized Mehler semigroup (Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup) associated with some strongly continuous semigroup of linear operators on a real separable Hilbert space may be defined by using a skew convolution semigroup. Under a mild moment assumption, it is proved that the characteristic functional of any centered skew convolution semigroup is absolutely continuous and characterizations are gi...
